Story
🏠 Currently in a Toronto foster home
Hi, my name is Remy 🤍
I’m a male Maltipoo, weighing about 7kg (15 lbs), and I’m just 1 year and 6 months old — still very young.
I was rescued from an animal hoarding situation.
More than 80 dogs were crowded into a tiny space where it was hard to breathe. There was no one to protect me, so I had to protect myself. Every day was filled with anxiety. Every moment felt like competition. In that environment, I had to become strong simply to survive.
Thankfully, I was rescued and brought to a shelter. After my health check, everyone was surprised — my body is miraculously healthy.
But some of those difficult days still live quietly in my heart.
Despite my past, I have a beautiful personality. I love people, I’m very affectionate, and I deeply crave human touch. In new or unfamiliar environments, I may be a little cautious at first. I’ve never lived alone before, so I may show signs of separation anxiety, and situations where I feel confined can cause intense fear.
Because I spent so long having to defend myself, I may show defensive behavior toward smaller dogs, especially if I feel pushed aside. However, I do not show this behavior with dogs larger than me.
For this reason, I would do best in a home:
✔️ with a larger dog than me, or
✔️ as the only dog, where I can receive focused love and reassurance.
Everything about home life is new to me — living indoors, going on walks, and sharing daily life with people. I’m learning all of this for the very first time.
I’m only a year and a half old.
Still so young.
I’m looking for a family who will teach me with love, wait patiently when I make mistakes, and gently say, “It’s okay.”
I’m no longer a dog who needs to survive alone.
Now, I deserve a life where I’m loved — not just enduring.
Please take my paw and help me begin a life of love.
I’m waiting for my forever family 🤍
